The service, doors and operators

Commercial garage door repair for roll up and sectional doors

Commercial garage door repair deals with different parts than a house door does. A roll up door winds its steel slats around a barrel mounted over the opening, a counterbalance spring sits inside or beside that barrel, and the curtain travels in guides fixed to both sides of the opening. A commercial sectional door looks familiar but is built heavier, with thicker track, larger rollers and sometimes a high lift or vertical lift layout. When either kind stops working, the cause is usually spring tension, bent guides, a damaged bottom bar, or the operator that drives it.

Business doors also work all day. A door cycling at a loading dock through every shift wears its bearings, hinges and cables far faster than a household door, so most breakdowns are wear that built up quietly until one part gave out. We look at the door and its operator together, because a worn door puts extra load on the motor, and a failing motor can twist a door that was otherwise sound.

Springs on heavy doors hold a great deal of stored energy. If a door dropped, sags to one side or will not rise, leave it alone and have the spring checked before anyone tries to force it.

Why call us

What we check first on a commercial overhead door

Spring and barrel

We check the counterbalance spring tension and the barrel it turns. A door that is out of balance strains every other part, so this comes before anything else.

Guides and track

Bent, loose or dirty guides make a roll up door bind and wander. On sectional doors we check the track alignment and the rollers that ride in it.

Curtain, slats and bottom bar

Dented slats, a bowed bottom bar or a torn weather seal each change how the door travels. We replace what is damaged and straighten what can be saved.

The operator

Roll up doors are usually driven by a jackshaft operator mounted at the side of the opening, with LiftMaster units a familiar example. Sectional doors may use a trolley or a hoist. We test limits, brake and manual release.

Safety devices

Photo eyes and a sensing edge on the bottom bar are what stop a door that meets a person or a pallet. We confirm both work before we leave.

    A uniformed technician inspects the door, the hardware and the operator, and explains the problem before touching anything.

    We give you the price for the repair before any work begins, so you can decide with the number in front of you.

A door stuck open leaves the building exposed, and one stuck shut stops deliveries.

FAQ

Commercial door questions answered

How do I know whether a commercial door needs repair or replacement?
Repair makes sense when the curtain or panels are straight and the fault is in a part such as a spring, roller, cable or operator. Replacement becomes the sensible option when slats are crushed, panels are cracked through, or the cost of several parts together approaches a new door. We explain which side of that line your door is on before you spend anything.
My door will not open and the power is out. What can I do?
Most commercial operators have a manual release, and many roll up doors can be raised with a hand chain through a chain hoist. If the door is heavy to lift by hand, the spring has probably lost tension, and forcing it can drop the door. Leave it where it is and tell us what you see.
Can a commercial door be fixed if it is stuck open?
Yes, usually. A door stuck open is often a failed operator limit, a broken cable or a slipped chain, and each can be repaired at your property. Keep people and vehicles clear of the opening until we have looked at it.
What drives the price of a commercial overhead door repair?
The main factors are door size and type, which parts failed, and the condition of the guides and opening around it. A spring and a bent guide cost very differently from a failed operator. We give you the full price before work starts.
Can you install a roll up door or a new operator?
Yes. We replace worn doors and fit operators, including LiftMaster models, on roll up and sectional doors. A new operator only works well on a balanced door, so we test balance first, and opener installation for a business follows the same order.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. We are locally owned and operated, licensed and insured, and our technicians arrive in uniform and explain the problem before they start.
What should I have ready when I call?
Know the door type (roll up or sectional), roughly how wide and tall it is, and what it did last. If you can see a brand name on the operator, tell us. If you also want a new door rather than a repair, say so, because garage door installation needs measurements taken in person.
